Wouldn’t it be better if Dana was questioning the heart of fighters because of the way they fight, rather than the way they cut weight?

Why do we want weight-cutting to be such a major part of this sport?

If you made fighters weigh-in just before the fight, no one would cut weight. They would diet, and they would fight at their natural weight. Weight-classes are supposed to ensure that people fight people their size. Weight-cutting is a loophole, and it should be closed.
